Mario Albrecht started creating jewelry by recycling used polyethylene plastic bags and foils after graduating from the Munich Academy of Design and Crafts. He is fascinated by a material that is constantly present in our daily lives and that becomes waste very quickly. He transforms it, from an apparently worthless element into beautiful objects to wear, trying to make it unrecognizable, so as to conceal and not immediately reveal its origin. His multi-layered and complex pieces simulate Mokume Gane or Damascus, both from an aesthetic and technical point of view. The artist tries to "collaborate" with the material in order to include its intrinsic characteristics in the design process, allowing the material to free itself from the limits initially imposed by his geometric arrangement.
